Everything you never wanted to know about breaking wind on a plane
 

'Tis Saturday and you may enjoy this article about breaking wind on a plane.

The interesting findings are women's smell worse than men's, flight crew are advised better out than in, and it may impare cabin service - ie the crew won't come near you!! Ha! As if they needed scientists to tell us that! :D

You would be amazed at the number of older ladies who 'keep it trapped', only to end Up in severe abdominal pain. On one occasion, having requested the paramedics, the medic leant over to the lovely lady in question and asked a simple question. "Have you trumped my dear?"
"Lord no!"
"would you mind visiting the toilet and giving it a go?"

A few minutes later, a relieved and cured patient emerged.

There are some things you don't know, and there are other things you wish you didn't know.

However, all knowledge is useful … possibly :D

They could add that sometimes the engine sound doesn't cover loud farts. And you haven't got away with it.

Just 10 times a day! They cannot be serious!

I can only manage 2 on a good day. :eek:

Should I have read the link?

That's just pants. :D

I find the ratio to be 1:1 per glass of LPGS at 37,000ft... :D

If that is true...imagine what Concorde was really like...50-60k ft

:eek:

I can't believe that I have just read, and posted on, a thread about flatulence! :eek::o
